In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process of extrusion used to produce pipes and wires in industry.

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.
